Geomorphology is the study of solid Earth’s surface features. Some workers in clued the landforms of other terrestrial-type planets and satellites in the Solar System within the scope of geomorphology. Geomorphology investigates landforms and the processes that fashion them, with chapters on weathering and related landforms, hillslopes, fluvial landscapes, karst landscapes, glacial and glaciofluvial landscapes, periglacial landscapes, aeolian landscapes, leoss landforms, coastal landscapes, Plate tectonics and landscapes, folded landscapes, faulted landscapes, and volcanic landscapes.
Geosciences
地球科学，7大基础学科之一，是以地球系统（包括大气圈、水圈、岩石圈、生物圈和日地空间）的过程与变化及其相互作用为研究对象的基础学科，包括地质学、地理学，以及其它衍生学科。地球科学是一个大题目，纵横几万里，上下数亿年，几乎辐射到自然科学的其他各个领域。对地球的认识同世界各民族的起源、历史、文化乃至这个世界文明的进展，都是紧密联系在一起的。
